Female homogamety in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) determined by gynogenesis

Gynogenesis occurred in eggs of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) treated with X-irradiated milt from goldfish (Carassius auratus). Gynogenetic offspring were females, which indicates functional female homogamety in grass carp. Five of these gynogenetic fish were used as an egg source for a second generation of artificially gynogenetic fish. The percentage yield in this second generation was ab

Infection and mortality in captive wild-trapped canvasback ducks

Fungal, bacterial and malarial infections, as well as malnutrition caused heavy mortality in a group of wild-trapped canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) held in 10 × 3 × 2 m open water pens. Deaths occurred between 21 and 158 days after confinement and were associated with infections of Aspergillus fumigatus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., Klebsiella sp., Enterobacter sp., a

Fish diseases and parasites in relation to the environment

Although some diseases are not affected by subtle environmental changes, others are. Factors which may influence infection or the course of disease are: temperature, gaseous supersaturation, oxygen deficiency, mechanical and physiological trauma of the fish, malappropriate water chemistry, pollution, eutrophication, media for spore retention, and presence of intermediate hosts. Aviatminoses and ne
